Speech processing is the study of speech signals and the processing methods of these signals.
The signals are usually processed in a digital representation whereby speech processing can be seen as the intersection of digital signal processing and natural language processing.
Speech recognition, which deals with analysis of the linguistic content of a speech signal.

Continuous speech recognition systems are able to cope with natural speech utterances in which words may be tied together and may at times be strongly affected by coarticulation.
The signal processing front-end transforms the speech signal into a sequence of feature vectors to be used for classification.
It is common for a continuous speech recognition system to recognise the whole sentence by first constructing a finite-state network, with or without a grammar based language model, to represent the possible sentence model.

Similarly, EM sensor measurements of jaw motion with acoustic speech provide constraints on the sound being articulated for speech recognition, and can be used for "talking head" and video image synchronization.
The speech articulator signals from our instruments are being carefully calibrated using existing procedures, such as electroglottographs, laryngoscopes, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonics, and many others.
The experiments and interpretations in our reports are intended to demonstrate promising approaches to studying speech production from babies to adults, for diagnosing and correcting communication disorders and learning difficulties, for real time continuous speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker verification, speech coding, noise reduction, and other applications.

 Multilingual Speech Processing
The feasibility of speech translation depends largely on the scope of the application, and ranges from applications that are well within range -such as voice activated dictionaries- to those that will remain impossible for the foreseeable future (e.g., unrestricted simultaneous translation.) Current research therefore aims at milestones between these extremes, namely limited domain speech translation.
For the speech processing components of a speech recognition system high accuracy is not the primary or only area of concern, but understanding, and understanding may be achieved by selectively extracting words of interest, and/or by occasionally prompting the user for important information.
Speech Translation research today is being developed against the background of early systems implemented in the eighties to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept.
